Colorado has a good spring snowstorm

Fierce Planet Posted on March 15, 2024 by jnfrMarch 15, 2024

And I am so happy to see it. I amused myself by making snow ducks as you can see below. Then there was so much snow overnight that my Ducktans were buried and vanished. Also, the top of one of our trees broke off and fell into the streets. There’s a lot of that around town; the arborist services will be busy for some time. News reports say Nederland, up in the foothills above Boulder, got 53″ (!) of snow, most of the foothills got three feet, and most of the suburbs got around two feet, which seems like what … Continue reading →

And now I do have COVID

Fierce Planet Posted on August 28, 2023 by jnfrSeptember 1, 2023

Thought I’d mention that. After three full years of careful isolation and masking and no COVID in our home, some time with family brought COVID to me. Mr Jnfr is fortunately still testing negative. We are quite lucky and quite privileged to have a home with plenty of space to divide the house for isolation purposes for a week or so. I also have had all the main vaccines and boosters, including the last variant booster. Up-to-date on flu shots, shingles, and Pneumovax too. So far symptoms are fairly mild, like a moderate head cold. I’ve had no fever, my … Continue reading →

The outcome

Fierce Planet Posted on April 6, 2023 by jnfrApril 6, 2023

…of the catalytic converter thefts that led us to leave our beloved Prius behind is this: a fairly new 2021 Nissan Leaf. Fully electric, no catalytic converter involved. The whole situation has been an extreme PITA, but this is a decent outcome, and we are happy. My Prius was cuter though.

What I’ve been doing

Fierce Planet Posted on March 31, 2023 by jnfrMarch 31, 2023

Mostly I’ve been trying to write something difficult again, which is always painful for me. But my temper has had other trials as well, in the shape of unknown thieves who one night stole the catalytic converter from our 2004 Prius. Yeah, we’ve been driving this car for nearly 20 years. We don’t drive much—the mileage is under 50,000 even after all this time. It was paid for years ago, and has been remarkably cheap to run. We planned to keep it for another decade at least. So when the converter was taken, we contacted our repair shop and the … Continue reading →

Help those on the ground in Syria and Turkey

Fierce Planet Posted on February 12, 2023 by jnfrFebruary 13, 2023

I’m sure you’ve heard about the massive earthquakes that have hit Syria and Turkey this week, killing more than thirty thousand people and leaving even more without shelter. (gift link) Members of BTS ARMY have put together this list of organizations on the ground who need donations. I would add World Central Kitchen, which as usual is already working to ensure people get fed. Please help in whatever way you can, in any amount. US and European currency goes a long way in these areas, so even small donations can mean a lot. ARMY pls help boost & donate for … Continue reading →

Good morning!

Fierce Planet Posted on September 3, 2022 by jnfrSeptember 23, 2022

Not sure this Biden speech will change many minds, but I am so glad he said what he did. It’s a moment in our country’s history that deserves recognition, and the danger must be named. I think he named it well, and judging by all the fainting and whines today, other people think so too.   I haven’t posted much recently because I’ve been busy. In addition to writing up my thoughts on the midterms, with a reference guide to the most important Senate races, I spent a couple of days following virtual sessions of Netroots Nation 2022. I live-tweeted … Continue reading →
